A fast growing class of sensing technology is wearable, where network nodes are tightly coupled with the human body. Wireless body area networks (WBAN) technology has gained popularity over the last few years, with a wide range of applications covered, in particular in health and rehabilitation. Wearable and pervasive computing are able to sense, monitor and process the data to provide smart assistance...
We developed, implemented and tested a Nano-power Wake Up Radio mainly intended for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), but it can be also used in other types of low power wireless networks. The radio was tested for power consumption and robustness to communication interferences from a wireless devices commonly found around the person carrying a WBAN. Results show that our radio has significantly...
In this paper, we express the power consumption for the wireless receiver employing multiple antenna technique as a closed form function of the number of antennas, time duration, power dissipation for carrier sensing and data decoding, and the probability of successful carrier sensing. Based on the analytical model, we show that when MAC level power save mode is combined with PHY level power save...
Advancing technology has made it possible to integrate millions of transistors on a very small die and to clock these transistors at very high speeds. Power consumption has become the limiting factor for portable high-performance wireless applications. In this paper, we propose a system level technique to improve the power efficiency of the wireless receiver design. The proposed clock gating scheme...
This paper presents a distributed fermat-point range estimation strategy, which is important in the moving sensor localization applications. The fermat-point is defined as a point which minimizes the sum of distances from three sensors inside a triangle. This point is indeed at the trianglepsilas center of gravity. We solve the problems of large errors and poor performance in the bounding box algorithm...
In this paper, we address the issue of transmission power control (TPC) in wireless ad hoc networks. Power control plays an important role in energy saving and network performance enhancement. However, the existing TPC schemes either face the problem of hidden and exposed terminal or have additional hardware requirements. We propose a novel distributed power control protocol, called Receiver Initiated...
Wireless sensor networks consist of a large number sensors spread across a given geographical area. Each sensor has its own communication capability as well as certain level of intelligence for signal processing and networking. As the sensor nodes are densely populated, communication range requirement for these nodes is smaller. After signal detection, a number of sensor nodes communicate over the...
In this paper, we propose a cognitive radio-based multi-user resource allocation framework for mobile ad hoc networks using multi-carrier DS CDMA modulation over a frequency-selective fading channel. In particular, given pre-existing communications in the spectrum where the system is operating, in addition to potential narrow-band interference, a channel sensing and estimation mechanism is provided...
